Pampers and UNICEF - First time for everything


Baby's First are so so special they really are and they do not change how ever many babies you have. Whether its the first tooth or the first poo on the potty its all rather special. My first I am going to talk about was the first time I became a mum. A young mum I was no idea of what was in store, little did I know I was about to be given the best gift I have ever received.

After a 24 hour labour with lots of different drugs and not much recollection of what had just happened I laid eyes on the most beautiful boy I have ever seen. Things came into my mind such as is this really happening and what am I going to do now. I looked at this little baby unsure on what I was to do but what I knew I had to look after him if my life depended on it. I was to go with out for him to flourish. It was a odd moment one I will never forget, that first time in my life I ever felt so responsible, it was if I aged instantly by about 20 years. I will never forget that feeling that I will never be alone again, how would I go out again. Its funny looking back now but that first time I became a mum it really helped shape who I have become today. You can read more here if you want.

The first time I became a mum
So with my little story comes some more interesting things, did you know that Pampers are now in their 9th year of the 1 pack = 1 vaccine campaign, Wow! In all those years they have provided 300 million vaccines eliminating tetanus in 15 countries how great is that! Not just great nappies but a great cause to buy them too. It doesn't end there many more countries are still at risk at something we in this country do not batter a eyelid at. So take a look at these videos "spoiler alert may make you cry they did me!" 




Pampers  have just launched there Pampers/UNICEF “1 pack = 1 vaccine" campaign and they are working with the fabulous Emma Bunton yet again. Emma has recently visited Madagascar (which announced its elimination of maternal and newborn tetanus in June this year) to see how the partnership is making a very real difference to women and their newborns. For every pack of Pampers sold, Pampers donates the cost of one maternal and newborn tetanus vaccine to UNICEF, and as a result, the disease has been eliminated in 15 countries since the partnership began (it’s also another 5 countries since our 2013 campaign!). The video below shoes Emma in Madagascar take a look and see how you can help eliminate newborn tetanus. 




Disclosure: I have not been compensated for this piece just writing about a awesome campaign.

First Times - Swings

When it comes to your third baby its easy to say that you don't have the same enthusiasm in the firsts as say your first. Sometimes these firsts are missed on camera as you are busy with another child. I myself am a recipient of this there is hardly any photos of my but my two older sister there is tons. So with this I will try my hardest with little bear. I will try to document those firsts, try not forget, try not to let it be the same because he is special. He will never get the time the other two got, he will always be my youngest compared to his older sister who is just 15 months older.

The other day we were at the park which is getting more difficult as Little bear isnt allways pleased about staying in the pushchair, which is fine if Ami is happy doing one thing but wants to play football, play on the skatepark ramps or jump of the equipment (some would think she was 7 not 1!!).So i am constantly chasing her to try and keep her from harm. She spots the swings are free and heads over there both are free and I had nowhere to put Little bear and just plonked him in the swing. It was his first time quick must go and grab phone to take a photo. He loved it was so happy to be in the swing and sitting up. Ami was so chuffed too she really love him doing the things she does. So there we are Little bear has now been on the swings. Next skate ramp (jokes save that fir 6 months).

So here we are Little Bears first time on the swing.


ok he doesnt look happy here bad shot lol
